McDavid Knee Brace, Knee Support & Compression for Knee Stability, Patella Tendon Support

Good support

Followed the measurements guide and ordered an XL. It’s snug and fits well but I would say if you are on the edge, order the larger size. Knee Brace works well just like my old McDavid brace did. Shipping was as advertised. I highly recommend.

First thing the picture is an old one. The one that arrived is the current version. It works very well. I can tell the difference when wearing it. Apparently my knee cap is not tracking properly. Previously tore my quad muscle. Of course I ignored the instructions to only wear for a couple hours and wore it to work for 8 hours the first day. No adverse effects. I followed the fit instructions on McDavid's web site. For me it is a perfect fit. The reason for only 4 stars is the comfort. The only complaint I have is due to the great quality of the brace using thicker material seems to bind up in the back of my knee. The material is thick and soft, but it bunches up when bending a lot. NOTE: This might be where following the instructions could be beneficial. If only worn for a couple hours you might not notice it. I live in reality where it is needed and beneficial to have on for longer periods. So it's a trade off. If you could get this kind of support with a thinner or open back type design it would be perfect.

Was a bit nervous since it seems like the quality of knee braces like this have gone down in recent years. I've been buying these since high school and have always been satisfied. Am happy to report that my brace seemed to be the same thick quality as years prior. I had quad tendonitis 2 years ago and knee hasn't felt the same. I play soccer weekly and have been looking for a sturdy brace to use. Am upset I didn't buy this a while ago as I've wastes money on lower quality braces that don't match the support this one does. My only negative is that the brace slips a bit after running in it a while so I have to tighten the straps every so often.

I have been using this knee support for a few days and I've already noticed an improvement. I was using an elastic wrap before and the injury seemed to linger. This support captures heat and warms the knee area. The pressure from the snug fit is also nice. The metal support provides a little resistance, but does not prevent the knee from bending during normal activity. Measure your knee for a correct size. Large fits a knee of 15-17 inches. My knee was just over 15 inches and I can fit the support snugly with the velcro-like straps. Medium would have been too tight. If your knee is on a border size, go with the next size up unless you have thin legs. I will sweat under this support even when I'm inside. The support looks and feels well made. I'm content so far and will update this review if that sentiment changes. Notes from the package: Do not wear for more than 2-3 hours. Hand wash only and drip dry. There is a warning about rubber allergy, dermatitis, and circulation problems. My support was made in Taiwan. And the plastic package was easy to open and can be reused for storage.

Runs small. Went up two sizes. Works well.

I got this 2 strap version to use at the gym and while working out in the yard. Just rec'd and made one trip to the gym. I'll update / edit later if my opinion changes. The brace did not slip down at all while doing elliptical at the gym. The straps kept it in place, unlike my older strapless neoprene sleeve. The side 'springs' seem to add some stability to this as well. I have a bulkier / sturdier / expensive Corflex hinged braced from the VA and this is almost as good for support or pain relief. This less costly ($23) one from McDavid will be great if it lasts 6-12 months of rugged wear. I did not feel restricted while wearing at the gym. I think this is the same as the Shock Doctor brand. The brace did have a rubbery odor when I unpackaged it. I hosed it down with Lysol and its fine now. I measured approx 17-17.5 / XL and its pretty snug. I may opt for XXL when I have to replace this one. I would think one could order up and use the straps to tighten it without any trouble.

Nice brace and is a large size, but much smaller than the older large size I already have. They charge more for larger braces so perhaps they shrunk the sizes to get more money.

Works great. Have no issue at all.

Ottima qualità, sostegno considerevole del ginocchio. Indicata per lievi patologie del capo articolare. Rispetto ai concorrenti più economici ha il vantaggio di rimanere ferma anche nell’uso più “estremo” (corsa, sci, tennis). Fate attenzione alle taglie: quelle indicate si riferiscono ai soli cm del ginocchio ma fasciando anche l’intersezione Ginocchio-quadricipite può risultare più o meno stretta a seconda del volume muscolare (o se non siete degli atleti, a quello adiposo).

Rodillera de muy buena calidad sujeta muy muy bien y es muy cómoda. La talla perfecta con la tabla de medida

Bon maintien, agréable à porter et pratique à enfiler mais attention ça taille petit. J'ai du renvoyer ma première pour prendre une taille au dessus malgré que javais pris les mesures...

Muy buena calidad, excelente soporte, pense que pudiera estar apretada pero el juego de basket la sentí muy comoda, no se movio de su lugar como normalmente ocurre con otras marcas. Deben de poner mucha atencion con la talla.
